THIS IS VERY POWERFUL AND IMPORTANT! I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW TODAY 

if u ever feel bad about ur limited knowledge of the star wars universe, dont worry! din djarin knows less than u and hes literally in it.

remmick and the vampires present a false dichotomy

Hogwood (the man who sold the twins the mill) and the KKK are very obviously bad, they are outright malicious bigotry, they use the n-word and plan to lynch the moore's and their community, they are so blatantly racist and hateful it's unavoidably obvious

remmick and the vampires however say that they believe in equality, say that they want to create a community, and yet remmick's goal throught the movie is to both metaphorically and literally steal sammie's ability for his own goal of reconnecting with his irish ancestors, a white man wants to harm a young and upcoming black man and use talents for his own goals without giving any regard to said black man's autonomy or agency

when sammie sings 'I lied to you' in the juke joint and calls forth the spirits from the past and future, it's a blend of cultures; west african, east asian, native american, and african american song and dance blend together across time and space to tell the stories of blues; where it takes its inspiration from, the music genres it then inspired, the complex history of black american culture and its intersections with other peoples of colour in the USA

when remmick and the vampires kill and turn the people in the juke joint, and then perform rocky road to dublin, only remmick's irish culture is on display, there is no influence from the black and asian people he has forcibly assimilated into his song, it's juxtaposition with the earlier scene is blatant, remmick is more than happy to assimilate people of colour into his 'community' of 'equals', and yet its only whiteness that is celebrated, that is normative

remmick claims that he's doing people a favour by turning them immortal, conviently ignoring that he literally has to suck the life out of them to do so, trapping their spirits on earth, he claims that he's the good guy, that the KKK were gonna come and lynch everyone at the joint in the morning anyways, conviently ignoring that he's doing the exact same thing; a white man leading a mob to kill a bunch of black people

in the final confrontation with sammie remmick repeatedly dunks him into the river, a forceful baptism. both the celtic irish and enslaved west africans had their religions suppressed and destroyed by colonialsm, had christianity forced upon them by the british empire, and in that scene we see remmick repeating that cycle, using christianity to inflict harm, and sammie reclaiming christianity, despite all the complex emotions he has arround it, as many colonised peoples have and still do, when he recites the lord's prayer

remmick and the vampires are no less racist than hogwood and the KKK, are no less predatory or evil, they're just less blantant about their bigotry, they represent the system, the normalised white supremacy that is seeped into the very foundation of culture in america, the point isnt that remmick would call any of the black characters in the movie the n-word, i dont think he would, the point is that his exploitation and desacration and inserting-himself-into-when-he-wasn't-invited of the juke joint is a microcosm of what white people have done to black american arts and culture since ever since there have been black and white people in america, and even before that

theres a reason vultures are shown early on in this movie

KINGS NEED PROTECTION TOO

Just an experiment. Reblog if you actually give a fuck about male victims of domestic violence and rape.

Of fucking course

What sick bastard doesn’t

i see nothing but facts 

“Not all men-”

You’re right, Thomas Sanders would never do this

spideypool thing from last year 😦

For those who have no idea what the fuck is going on with Markiplier today

A couple days ago, Coryxkenshin made a video about YouTube's favoritism and how it's very likely having racist influences

It had a lot of receipts for proof and things like this have happened more than once

I highly recommend checking it out, it's short and to the point and explains the situation

But basically his playthrough of a horror game that's popular right now was age-restricted, cause of some self-harm scene

despite other youtubers of his fame level still had their videos up and with this segment still tacked on

So he sent a clip of Mark's segment (probably cause he's non-white like Cory) to prove his point

It lead to both of them getting age-restricted

Now at this point today, other youtubers made videos defending Cory like Ludwig and Jacksepticeye (jack even having personal experience with his girlfriend getting the same treatment, so it could be a case of sexism maybe as well)

Mark decided to take a different route than the long talk format:

Try Not To Get Age-Restricted Challenge, where he played an adult game. He blurred everything out of course, but he still uploaded it and didn't age-restrict it

A great move, as many people like myself were curious why this was uploaded and found the situation out

WELL IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT TODAY...

Mark uploaded this the same day he was to appear in a YouTube hosted livestream where a bunch of gamers got together to play some minecraft and other shit

If I could high-five Mark, I would

So at this point, YouTube could age-restrict this video Mark uploaded, but all eyes would be on them since everyone would Know why they did this

So instead, they went a different route:

Cut out a huge chunk of Mark's segment

That he recorded and edited together

with his editors' help

On a deadline to get this out FOR YOUTUBE

So that only about 30 SECONDS was left in the stream

Keep in mind Mark's face was the biggest on the thumbnail of the livestream

AAAND he apparently wasn't shown in the entire rest of the livestream either

Mark confirmed this on Twitter that his thing was cut

And said he would upload the whole segment tomorrow

So here is how Mark used his YouTube golden boy status to look them in the eyes and give them the middle finger.

And why i love him.

That TFATWS to CABNW development got me sCreaming

Can you imagine how confuddled Vader must have been at the bespin duel

Vader: he's trained with yoda and obi-wan, I shouldn't let my guard down - let's just test the waters

Luke: I'm going to do a jump here and oof oh no I'm backpedaling rn oh shit uhhh just slash and hack boys act like you know what you're doing stay calm stay calm

Vader: .....what the kriff is he doing

Vader: is this a new dueling tactic I've never heard of?

---

Luke: blindly slashes out his saber

Vader: that isn't part of any lightsaber form

Luke: djjdjshsh I think I'm doing well rn actually

Vader: what the fuck? What the fuck is this? Why did he respond to my attack with blindly flailing his arms about instead of the textbook parry? What's his plan?

---

Vader, crying: please.. please fight normally....

Luke: getting beaten up by flying debris if I'm confused the opponent is confused too
